heh. I don't dislike Mou because he's defensive. I don't dislike him at all I dislike him because he works for the enemy and he's A CRAZY PUPPET-MASTER but idgaf about tactics really. I like Barça's style because it works, not because it's the prettiest ever omg. but hee, Xavi. it's okay, Barça got him early, they brainwashed him good.
it's... hmm. yes, I missed out on Cesc's baby years, but also they've gotten rid of all his friends from when he was a baby. Senderos, Hleb and Flamini are all gone. Titi's gone. Freddie and Jens are gone. you know I'm a sucker for childhood friendships etc but Arsenal isn't as good at hanging onto them, or maybe I'm just coming in at the wrong time, or something. the dynamics aren't right for me for some reason, and then I get turned off when people try to point to something that I don't really see. Arsene definitely stamps out any signs of dissent, which is his job, as you say, but not the only way of doing it. honestly Mancini's willingness to just let them fight it out does baffle me a little, but I do think he sort of knows what he's doing, maybe. idk. he worked with Zlatan at Inter, he knows about big egos!
hee. after the second leg of Inter-Barça last year, Balotelli apparently got into a fight with Materazzi. Zlatan was on Mario's side. XDD
